FINALLY an update on this matter!!

Two men accused of killing a 51-year-old solicitor have pleaded not guilty to murder.

John Cort (53), of Rutland Street, Leicester, and Brian Farrell (36), of Queensborough Terrace, west London, appeared before Nottingham Crown Court yesterday.

They are accused of killing Vina Patel, whose body was found by relatives at Corts and Co solicitors, in Blackbird Road, Leicester, on January 15.

The case was adjourned for trial at Nottingham Crown Court. Both men were remanded back into custody.

An inquest into the death of Ms Patel, who worked as a solicitor, was opened last month and adjourned.

Not guilty?! After ALL that has been said against them!

UPDATE: The case has been adjourned for trial NEXT April! My sincerest apologies go to the family and friends who are yet to find closure in this matter!

Found here and here!

I came across this on the Gazette website FINALLY to somewhat confirm what has happened.

On 8 July 2009, the panel of adjudicators sub-committee resolved to intervene in the practice of John David Cort who ­formerly practised at Blackbird House, 57A Blackbird Road, Leicester LE4 0AR under the firm name Corts.The reason for the intervention was that the panel was satisfied that there was reason to suspect ­dishonesty on the part of Mr Cort; that Mr Cort has failed to comply with the Solicitors Accounts Rules 1998; that Mr Cort has been remanded in custody; and that it is necessary to intervene to protect the interests of clients (or ­former or potential clients) of Mr Cort or his firm, or the interests of the ­beneficiaries of any trust of which Mr Cort is or was a trustee. Marion Vesey of Shacklocks, St Peter’s House, Bridge Street, Mansfield NG18 1AL, tel: 01623 626141, DX: 10352 Mansfield, has been appointed to act as the authority’s agent and she attended at the office of Corts and took ­possession of practice papers on 9 July 2009. Pursuant to the intervention ­resolution, the practising certificate of Mr Cort has been suspended with immediate effect.

Still no word on the pending court case though.
